Commissioners meet to protect ‘Our Jewel’

After the latest in a string of arsons in Vancouver’s Stanley Park, the Park Board is contemplating long-term security ideas.

The Commissioners had an online meeting with staff Thursday.

Vice-Chair Aaron Jasper: “We’ve directed our staff to talk with the City of Vancouver’s Security Department to consult with the police department and come back to us with some strategies. And if there’s some costs associated with that, then we can have that discussion at the time.”

The latest two arsons in the park happened earlier this week; a dumpster was set on fire at Malkin Bowl. A short time later, another garbage fire spread to the Brockton Oval change-room facility.

Earlier this summer, the Station at the miniature train attraction was destroyed by fire.
